Deck Discussion Galadriel - First Deck
Hey all, I pulled this one from a collector booster and figured I had the cards to make a decent deck out of it. The problem I’m having is I’m struggling to make it a cohesive dedicated strategy.
The strategy I’ve tried to go for is to use the ‘Recruit’ mechanic with a secondary strategy of profiting off the discard with Monument to Endurance but I couldn’t find other discard payoffs.
It’s the first deck that I’ve properly spent time on. All criticism/feedback welcome!

So what I see is a go wide strategy with no go wide wincon. You're really going to want a couple overrun effects in the deck [[triumph of the horde]] [[craterhoof behemoth]] [[pathbreaker ibex]] [[moonshaker cavalry]]. I'd also remove some of the draw a card "if/when" for straight up draw like [[stock up]] [[quick study]] [[lorien revealed]] [[concentrate]] [[secrets of the golden city]], things that will get you value if your board has been removed. I would probably remove Gandalf, I don't think he's really going to bring much value at all to the deck.
I would also not bother going for discard synergies, just focus on going wide.
It's always hard to tell exactly how a deck plays but yours doesn't look bad. You have good ramp and protection. If I were you I'd swap a few of those suggestions in and do some goldfishing. If you can get games in with it even better.
